a visit from jeff mack

Can I start by saying, "I love this guy".
There I said it.


I have been a fan for a while now and wasn't the least bit disappointed by the presentation he did for RACWI members Thursday night. He was charming, funny and just plain cute.



The list below are just some of things he shared:

~a graduate of SUNY Oswego
~often works 10hrs a day
~studio in old Yankee Candle factory
~worked as a portrait copier
~also worked at FYE, a job that didnt' last long
~he likes to paint standing up
~media of choice: acrylic paint on #180 lb hot press
~applies varnish to surface of board to create a smooth surface
~mixes "Golden" faux finish medium into paint
~it take about 2-3 mo. for him to complete a picture book
~he used to wear tube socks! (even provided photographic evidence)
